Found a great house for rent with an okay location that no one else appears to be snapping up. But on the day we were going to go check it out, someone took the key and vandalized the inside. We were hoping we could check it out today, but apparently it'll take till Saturday for it to be fixed up._________________::lesser crisis mode::

Received a 40 euro giftcard from work for a store that sells shampoo, perfumes, nail polish and other typical body things. Not sure how I feel about it but I do appreciate it (I will use it to buy small bottles of shampoo for my holiday).

My husband gifted me a new mouse! It even lights up in the color of your choice (green, red or blue).

Wife's dental insurance was apparently cancelled by her job WITHOUT THEM TELLING anyone, at least not in a noticable way. (She is currently checking her paystubs to see if they were still *charging* her for it/deducting it from her pay)

We understand.")_________________"No, but evil is still being --Is having reason-- Being reasonable! Mousie understands? Is always being reason. Is punishing world for not being... Like in head.

Working on a project looking at differences in hydraulic conductivity in plants grown under different temperature conditions.

On the positive hand, we got some really interesting initial results. Getting things that aren't null results is fun.

On the negative, the results have some pretty worrisome implications regarding tree adaptation in the face of climate change._________________The older I get, the more certain I become of one thing. True and abiding cynicism is simply a form of cowardice.

+Yay! Andy Coulson, PM David Cameron's former director of communications and close adviser, is guilty as sin and going to jail!

-Boo! The rest of the hacking trial defendants managed to cobble together disposable lackeys, plausible deniability and mislaid evidence to introduce enough reasonable doubt into the equation that they were found Not Guilty of the stuff they were charged with.
